TH March Teams Up With ShieldMy Insurance on Weddings

Weddings can be very expensive, so it’s worth thinking about insurance;

Independent insurance broker partners with ShieldMy Insurance Services to bring a digitally led, comprehensive wedding insurance proposition to UK consumers

TH March, one of the UK’s leading independent, employee-owned specialist insurance brokers, has launched a new wedding insurance proposition in partnership with ShieldMy Insurance Services, expanding its portfolio of specialist personal insurance products. The new proposition, available through ShieldMy Wedding, provides couples across the UK with protection against a range of risks associated with planning and paying for a wedding, including cancellation, supplier financial failure, ceremonial attire, photography and videography, wedding transport, personal liability and personal accident.

Customers can also choose optional extensions including marquee cover, wedding gifts, enhanced liability and pre-payment protection.

The partnership brings together TH March’s long-established expertise in specialist insurance with ShieldMy’s digital insurance technology and product development capabilities. The result is a straightforward online proposition designed to give customers access to specialist wedding protection throughout the planning process.

For TH March, the launch represents a natural extension of its existing expertise in protecting engagement rings, wedding jewellery and other high-value possessions, while broadening its offering to cover the wider financial investment associated with a wedding.

Simon Dawe, Managing Director of TH March, said:

“As an independent, employee-owned business, we’ve always believed that long-term relationships and putting customers first are fundamental to our success. For almost 140 years, TH March has been trusted to protect some of our customers’ most treasured possessions, particularly engagement rings, wedding jewellery and other high-value items. Expanding into wedding insurance is a natural evolution of our business and enables us to protect not only the symbols of the occasion, but also the investment and peace of mind that surround one of life’s most important celebrations.”

Peter Watson, Regional Development Manager at TH March, said:

“Our partnership with ShieldMy Insurance Services allows us to offer a modern, digitally led customer experience backed by comprehensive protection and specialist expertise. We also see considerable opportunity to help our jeweller partners enhance their customer proposition by introducing specialist protection at the point customers are making significant financial decisions. It also creates an additional
revenue opportunity while providing customers with genuine peace of mind.”
